The Flames days of having an embarrassment of riches on the blue line are over. They should be looking to add, not sell on the back end.

Good point.
Hanifin is like Johnny. On a great contract. Once that contract is almost over we could look at trading him for assets as well, or see how he has developed and perhaps keep him.
But right now, given his age, how well he played in the playoffs....yeah, pretty dumb to want to trade him. From an asset management perspective, trading him now while his value is at the lowest of his term, is a terrible idea.
